Nana's treasure box

You can have your wealth and riches
And the things so many seek,
Position, power, success,
The fame you long to keep.

You can earn what you wish,
Reach a status high above,
But none of these can equal
Having one sweet child to love.

The greatest gift from heaven is
Little arms that hold you tight.
And a kiss so soft and gentle
When you tuck them in at night.

A million precious questions
And each story often read,
Two eyes so bright and smiling
And a darling tousled head.

God as never matched the goodness
Of a trusting little face,
Or a heart so full of laughter
Spreading sunshine everyplace.

A child to hold and cuddle,
Is a gift from God above
And the world is so much brighter
When you have a child to love.
